Numbers

Numbers 7:6–9

⁶So Moses took the carts and oxen and gave them to the Levites. ⁷He gave the Gershonites two carts and four oxen, as their service required, ⁸and he gave the Merarites four carts and eight oxen, as their service required, all under the direction of Ithamar son of Aaron the priest. ⁹But he did not give any to the Kohathites, since they were to carry on their shoulders the holy objects for which they were responsible.
